Teams like the New York Giants and Chicago Bears have plenty of history, but the Green Bay Packers may have them both beat. Since joining the NFL in 1921, few teams have had quite as much success as the Packers, and their passionate fan base is certainly a testament to that. Picking up Green Bay Packers tickets gives you the chance to see one of the most legendary squads in an iconic stadium - Lambeau Field.
The Green Bay Packers are the only not-for-profit and community owned team in the NFL, much less all of professional sports. This fact alone could make the Packers stand out, but they're also the third oldest team in the NFL. Established in 1919, the team boasts more than 12 league championships, nine of these triumphs happening before the Super Bowl existed. If the hard data isn’t enough to peak interest, then the Packers’ hard-hitting play will pull in any serious football fan.
The Packers were among the most successful teams in the earliest days of the NFL, capturing three league championships in a row from 1929 through 1931. That success carried over once the NFL and AFL merged, when the Packers won the inaugural Super Bowl over the Kansas City Chiefs, as well as Super Bowl II against the Dallas Cowboys. With a foundation built on success, it's no wonder the Pack are the epitome of NFL achievement.
The current NFC North team has had a relatively smooth sporting career on the feats of some of their most popular players, though like any team they have seen years of feast and famine. The Wisconsin-based squad holds more than 10 divisional, nine conference and several Super Bowl championship wins. These staggering numbers do not include their 20 plus playoff appearances.
The Packers are also home to a number of Pro Football Hall of Famers including players Cal Hubbard, Don Hutson and Reggie White as well as coaches Earl (Curly) Lambeau and Vince Lombardi. While they hold many records the Packers come in second behind their conference foes the Chicago Bears relative to the number of Hall of Famers the teams have churned out. Characteristic of the fervent NFL atmosphere, the Green Bay Packers have conference rivals in the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings. Also on their list of teams to beat are the Dallas Cowboys that, while not direct opponents, have come face-to-face with the Packers powerhouse numerous times in the playoffs.
More recently, the Packers have maintained that high level of success. In 1996, led by Brett Favre, the Green and Gold captured their third Super Bowl, a feat that Aaron Rodgers matched 14 years later with his own Super Bowl title. With a fan base and tradition unlike any other, it's hard to imagine the NFL without the Packers.
Whether it’s a home game or out of town, the Green Bay Packers draw legions of cheesehead fans that love the team’s powerful level of play! Reviews declare that the Packers are a great football experience for the whole family! Make sure that you are front and center for the action at Lambeau Field to cheer your favorite players.
